Join us for a hands on wood carving workshop where you’ll learn traditional Japanese spoon carving techniques while crafting your own beautiful, functional kitchen utensil. Set in the heart of Sausalito near Heath Ceramics, Fjord, and some of the area’s favorite restaurants, this experience blends creativity, craftsmanship, and connection in a relaxed coastal setting.

Perfect for beginners and creatives alike, this workshop is designed to slow you down, introduce you to time honored carving methods, and give you the satisfaction of making something with your own hands.

What you’ll do

Get familiar with the tools
We’ll start by gathering, meeting one another, and walking through the professional carving tools you’ll be using throughout the workshop.

Learn Japanese carving techniques
You’ll be guided through foundational techniques that have been passed down for generations, focusing on precision, flow, and control.

Design your spoon
Sketch and shape the form of your spoon, choosing a style that feels personal and functional before beginning to carve.

Carve your spoon
Using high quality tools, you’ll slowly bring your design to life, shaping the wood into a one of a kind utensil.

Finishing touches
Once carving is complete, you’ll sand and oil your spoon to reveal the natural beauty of the wood and create a smooth, lasting finish.

Leave with a handmade spoon, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for the art of wood carving plus a few new friends along the way.
